From The BBC:
More territory has been captured from the Tamil Tigers, the army says, as it continues its attempt to take the rebels' stronghold of Kilinochchi.
It says that troops have captured the village of Olumadu, south-west of the rebel-held town of Mullaitivu.
Correspondents say that heavy fighting over the weekend has now turned into smaller skirmishes.
The pro-rebel website, Tamilnet, has released photos of "dead soldiers" from the fighting around Kilinochchi.
Correspondents say the photos - if genuine - are the first to be publicly released of the weekend offensive by the army to capture the rebels' de facto capital in the north.
